How did your lopsided math/science student do in admissions?

I helped a friend with her S who was science/math lopsided like OP’s S. For any selective school that was not known for its science, he did not get in. But he got into Tufts and WL at Washington SL. The Tufts acceptance was a pleasant surprise.

He narrowed his choices down to Tufts and Miami, chose Miami (he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to get the grades he needed at Tufts–premed), then changed his mind and ended up at Tufts. He’s doing fine, but he studies like a demon (or at least that is what he tells his mother…).
